The day was marked by the conflict between national team coaches for USA hockey and the Russian Federation. American Tony Garnet pointedly refused to shake the hand of Oleg Znarka after the match, which the Russian team won with the score 4:0.

The coach of the losing side didn’t like that the opponent sent out his team to attack in the final minutes of the battle.
